"Ah !" drawing deep breath, THAT OBJ

Aunt Lorraine looked up, but she uttered
no word. 1t was not necessary. Her eyes
were radiant with loving light, as she lifted
them to Captain Moore's face, and he caught
her in his arms and kissed her with no
thought of Nanny and me.
Just then a frightened face thrust itself in
the door, and hoarse voice whispered, "De

miles distant), an a-comin' straight furrard.

a merry-makng was instituted on the next
morning for their manufacture. All the
young people of the neighborhood were in
vited in to assist, and by noon, after much
laughter and fun, six candleswere com
pleted.
During the following week much practic-
ing of solos, duets and choruses took place,
as well as the rehearsing of two-character
play and several tableaux; but all prepare
tons for the Christmas tree were made behind
closed doors, through the keyholes of
which, though, we children managed to OBJ
tain few exhilaraling peeps.
Two days before Christmas, however, a
man came riding wildly into the village,
bearing the startling statement that the city
of c. had fallen and that the enemy were
advancing upon us. CONSERVATION seized
every heart, and valuables were packed and
buried, horses and mules hidden in the
woods and every preparation made for the
arrival of the enemy.
Toward night the most conflicting rumors
rent the village with excitement, and many
families hurried away in private convey
ances, leaving their homes to meet such fate
as might await them.
won't you please go away, Captain
Moore?" heard Aunt Lorraine ask in low,
excited voice of the young soldier. "Firehy
is at your command, and Pappy Ned will
guide you to place of safety"
"But don't want to go away, Miss Lor-
aine," he answered with mutinous, laugh
ing glance. II never felt less like leaving
place in my life"
But do CO." she pleaded earnestly, "even
ifyou do not wish it. Go for the sake of
those who take an interest in your welfare,
and, most of all, for the sake
For the sake of whom, Miss Loraine?'
For the sake of the girl you love-" she
added, desperately.
otis the girl 1 love who keeps me-" he
answered. softly, flashing down upon her
brilliant glance she did not lift her eyes to see.
"Ah! then in that case" with ashy lips,
Il will bring her to plead with you in per-
son." and before he could make a remon-
STRANGE she had fitted quickly away.
But the vigils of the night were broken by
no appearance of the enemy, and in the
morning positive assurance reached us
that as yet no move had been made
upon the neighboring city, so our Christ
mas preparations were carried forward with
vigor.
From the kitchen, to which we children
were freely admitted. savory odors arose all

TOWN CRIERS.
The Popularity of This Queer Old Custom
in English Villages.

IN English villages.
Many of the towns and villages of the Old
World-aud some of those of the New-cling
tenaciously to ancient customs. They frown
on all modern innovations, evidently be-
lievng that cold things are best" A tourist,
writing from England, says that the most
interesting thing he saw in the ancient town
of Warwick was something which happened
Just as he was about to leave the place.
1t could not have been better arranged.
The morning of my departure sundry bold
and adventurous Warwickians had gone on
a railroad excursion to the unknown and
distant Portsmouth, 100 long and weary
miles away. Just as | was going away the
town crier came on the streets carrying in
his hand message announcing the safe ar
rival at the distant port of Portsmouth of
the band of Adventures.
He wore the exact custom of the town
crier of the time of Henry VIII. He had
black cooked hat la Napoleon l. His
coat was a single buttoned red frock with
long skirts descending nearly to his feet.
He was a solemn-looking man, with long,
red nose sharp-featured face and stray
Cling, yellow mustache shading his yawning
mouth. He carried in his hand brass bell,
which he would ring with sharp jerk and
then howl the contents of the dispatch
something like the following:
"Kerching The Warwick party, num-
bering forty souls arrived this morning at
Portsmouth at $50. All safe and well
Kerchingp'
The way windows and doors flew open at
the "Kerching !" of the criers bell showed
how popular was this means of circulating
news in Warwick. The solemnity and the
curiosity expressed upon the wrinkled faces
of the old women at some of the open door
ways were most hattering tributes to the
majesty and Importance of the town crier.
Some of the advanced thinkers of the vii
lage-few in number-scoffed at him, but
the majority regarded him as a most import
ant and useful functionary.-E1 Exchange

Sure and Safe Travelling.

The Ohio & Mississippi Railway is I'M
questionably the leading road from Cir
cinnati to St. Louis and the West
Where other routes, made up of two or
more different lines, claim to be in the
field for St. Louis business, the fact re-
mains that the Ohio d Mississippi is the
only line owning its own track, and run
ming all its trains through solid between
Cincinnati and St. Louis. Four daily
trains each way, equipped with baggage
and smoking cars, day coaches and par
lor and sleeping cars, make it the great
popular thoroughfare between the two
cities. The excellence of its track and
motive power enable it to make the run
of $40 miles in ten hours, including stops
an average speed which is not sur
passed by any road in the United States.
1t is in all respects tirst-class road, and
in it's entire history it has never reached
a higher state of efficiency than under its
present management.

and festoons of Christmas green's pictur-
esquely hung had transformed the rooms
into a perfect bower. An old mosquito
bar was tackled across the opening made
by the folding doors to give illusion to
the tableaux to be presented. And the old
fashioned fireplace in the front parlor was
piled high withresinous pine-knots whose fan
tastic glow was to furnish light as well as heat
Captain Moore busted himself writing pro-
grammes (Which were to be presented as
souvenirs of the occasion) on wallpaper with
pokeberry juice and goose quill.
The Christmas tree had already been set
up in the front parlor, and was to be ready
for inspection at four clock. At six it was
to be cleared away, and the space then filled
in with chairs for the audience. Aunt Lo-
raine, pale but lovely fitted here and there
giving gentle word of praise to the other
workers, or lending an artistic hand to the
arrangement of some adornment. She wore
homespun gown, fashioned and en-
broidered by her own def fingers, and bore
about her an air of such sweet and gracious
womanliness that l felt a glow of childish
hatred toward Captain Moore, as noted his
constant attentions to Miss Allie. But soon
all admittance to the parlor was denied, and
with breathless expectancy we children
waited for the charmed hour to arrive. At
o'clock, clad in little homespun gowns and
with hair freshly curled, Nanny marshaled
us three little ones of the household and a
group of neighbor-children to the parlor door.
All what a fairy-like vision burst upon
our dazzled eyes as the doors were thrown

THE NIAGARA FALLS ROUTE.
A Road Which Gives the Tourist the Most
Magnificent View.

The Michigan Central is the only real
Niagara Falls Route in the country-none
genuine without IN. CO. blown in the bot
tie. 1t is the only railroad that gives a salts
factory view of the Falls. Every day train
stops from five to ten minutes at Falls View,
which is what the name indicates-a splen-
did point from which to view the cataract
1t is right on the brink of Che grand
canyon, at the Canadian end of the Horse
shoe, and every part of the Falls is
in plain sight. Even if he is too i'll
or too lazy to get out of his car he
can see the liquid wonder of the world
from the window or the platform. This is
the Michigan Centrals strongest hold on
popular favor, its greatest advantage its
chief attraction. So long as the waters of
that mighty river thunder down to the aw-
ful depths below, so long as the rush and
roar, the surge and foam, and prismatic spray
OF natures cataractic masterpiece rema II to
delight and awe the human soul, thousands
and tens of thousands of beauty-lovers and
worshipers will journey over the
only railroad from which it can be seen.
There is but one Niagara Falls on earth and
but one direct great railway to it.
After leaving Falls View, the train sweeps
along the edge of the mighty chasm, some
two or three miles, to Suspension Bridge,
giving constant and ever-changing views Of
the cataract and the surging, boiling river,
as it madly PUSHES and RACES between the
perpendicular walls of stone, three hundred
feet high. that form the great canyon of Nj
agara. The stream is crossed on the new
Cantilever Bridge, which, stretching over
the roaring flood, from precipice to preci-
pice, seemingly resting on air alone is a
marvel of engineering skill and daring. 1t
is dizzy height above the seething waters,
and seems pathway only for winged crea-
lures. but the train PUSHES over it as though
1t were highway cut in solid stone. From
the bridge there is magnificent view of the
Falls, the Rapids and the Suspension Foot
Bridge, above the Cantilever; while below it
the eye takes in the Lower Rapids and the
awful whirlpool where Captain Webbs body
was found.
On the New York side of the river the
road follows the very brink of the canyon
for mile or more. affording continual gIori-
GUS glimpses of the cataract, the rapids and
all the other noted spots; and, after leaving
the town of Niagara, it winds along the
margin of the river, furnishing views Of the
islands and the upper rapids, until the
mighty stream widens out into Lake Erie,
Just as the conductor announces Buffalo
1t is twenty-mile-long flying panorama of
Gods and Natures sublimest handiwork-a
feast to the eye, ear, heart soul and imagi-
nation that is worth the cost in time and
money of a trip across the continent or
around the world.-St. Louis Spectator.

NEUTRAL GROUND,
Parlor in Which Many Social Difficult
ties Melted Away.

In the social life of village it is an excel
lent thing if one family of influence disre-
CARDS all differences among neighbors and
makes its parlors neutral ground, where all
may meet as honored guests. For years
Northampton had this sort of neutral
ground in the parlors of Mrs. Judge Lyman
Her house was noted as the one mansion in
the village the door of which always opened
to any one who knocked, and where the
mistress never recognized differences between
neighbors.
The villagers were early risers and did
much of their days work before breakfast
in the summer time. One morning Mrs. Ly-
man was sweeping her parlors as an old
friend passed with basket of eggs and
stopped for a chat.
Mrs. Lyman she called out, II hear you
have invited the IS and the IS to your
party. Didn't you know they didn't speak,
and won't it be little awkward?"
Il don't know anything about people who
don't speak ~ was the quick reply, and she
swept more vigorously.
In few minutes another friend looked in
at the window, and repeated the information
given by the earlier caller. ''They don't
speak to one another" said he, land haven't
these six months"
The Lord only knows when they will, if
no one ever gives them a chancen she
answered, emphasizing her words with Wig
orous thrusts of the broom.
Mrs. Lyman Mrs. Lyman!" called out
the CHEEKY voice of a girl on her way to catch
the early mail, and she too repeated, They
don't speak"
Leaving everything, the aroused woman
went to the door, laid her hand on the girls
shoulder and said, ''See here, C, you are
young, very young, indeed; did you ever hear
that when two countries are at war a third
country is always selected, which they call
neutral ground? Now am perfectly will
ing to have my parlors stand for neutral
ground, but you need not tell any one that l
said so. And there's another thing want
to tell you: that when you have lived as
long as have, you'll find it's capital thing
to go through life deaf and dumb and blind"
The daughter who tells this anecdote, in
her "RecollectiOns of My Mother adds
that these parlors proved a neutral ground
more than once to neighbors long parted,
and that their differences melted away in
house where differences were never recog-
nized.-Erchdnge.

COMING TO PIECES.
How Practical Joker Played a Trick on a
Train Guard.


There are very few practical Jokes which
injure no one, and therefore when we come
across those of harmless variety we take our
fill of amusement over them, since there are
so many at which no one ought to laugh
A certain practical joker once beguiled the
time on a railroad journey, in England, by
stutfing his glove with his handkerchief until
it reached the proportions of a plump hand.
He then arranged it in front of his coat so
that it should appear to be one of his own
fingers. The train stopped, and the usual
cry, ''All tickets ready ~ was heard.
Tickets, please" said guard, opening the
door of the carriage.
Take mine," said the joker, and as the
man did so, he took the hand with it.
"The guard was a robust person." said the
gentleman, in telling his story, but he stag
gered back in a faint, and called feebly for
smelling salts. "-Erchange.

UNSELFISII-
How This Very Rare Trait Was Shown
by an Irishman.

by an Irishman.
True unselfishness is a rare virtue, but it
is by no means an extinct one, as the follow
ing incident will testify. A burly Irishman
was one day at work on roof, removing the
ice from gutter.
His position was dangerous one, but this
did not seem to give him so much uneasness
as did the temerity of pedestrians who per
sisted in passing below close to the building
The warnings of the men who were guard
ing the dangerous section of the sidewalk
were repeatedly dsregarded, and the Irish
man, at length becoming thoroughly exas-
perated at this continued display of fool
hardness, shouted from mis- lofty perch:
"lf l drop on the heads of some of We, yell
wish ye'd Kept out O. that p'-ErchaRge.
